Good news everyone! If you thought the hazard course was too easy, then you can attempt this insane challenge in this German HARZARDOUS COURSE which is basically a renovated Hazard Course! Get your HEV suit up and running, because Moving Around in your HEV Suit will be slightly disorienting WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING LIKE A MOFO! The next three jumps get HARDER each time, but they are barely possible. And don't even get me started on Long Jumps.
This is a hazard course for ADVANCED Half life players only! Know that every obstacle IS POSSIBLE without cheating. If you feel you are not a good player then feel free to move on to the next mod. And yes, it is ALOT harder than Half-Quake and Test your skill. There is limited combat, as it is only a hazard course, so don't expect to be a runnin' a gunnin' either.
I recommend you record this so that we can hear all your frustration while playing thru this. However, the 'renovations' to the vanilla hazard course is very funny and amusing to go thru, you know.
I have yet to complete this mod, but there is one part that was really annoying, and that was the test track labyrinth. It's not hard, just really long, and you can't quicksave on this map because doing so will break the track switches. So just a heads up for you on that.

Random stuff my 4 year old sister says.
On Garbage day: "Nobody throws trash away, even if they're frogs."
On Rhyming: "Glasses rhymes with... asses!"
On the Outdoors: "Did you know there's dirt under the grass?"
On restrooms: "If you didn't have a butt you couldn't go to the bathroom."

3 weeks into uni and am loving it (chaos will come later but my future self will deal with that). I was going to pursue an acting career but ended up landing in to "Bachelor of Arts in Games and Interactivity" which I do not hate at all, rather it's the direct opposite.
It ain't all about making games which is what I like about it, you also go through the psych behind it all and deconstruct mechanics of specific games. Heck even going through the history of games (mind you, before the digital age) is not even boring as I'd thought it would be. I could keep on going about this but I do have to remember this isn't "LiveJournal".
In gaming news, I still haven't bothered picking up SourceSDK nor Hammer 3.5 again since those immature days of highschool and SSX on PS3 was disappointing at first (lack of splitscreen which was what made the franchise so fun, blander characters due to less voice acting and the inclusion of dubstep - now remedied by using my own playlist) but still quite fun carving up snow and pulling off unrealistically awesome tricks. Which reminds me I haven't gone snowboarding in years.

Dr. Amazing's Rants of RAGE:
Modern Gaming
Why is gaming sucking so much now? Everything is just about Halo and Cock of Booty: Modern Whorefare. What ever happened to color (I would mention My Little Pony but Archie and co. would get pissed)? The palette of a lot of games nowadays is just Brown, Darker Brown and Lighter Brown. Games now are just all about realism. Games aren't supposed to be realistic. They are supposed to be about doing things you couldn't do in real life. Would Super Mario 64 of been more fun if Mario had to stop constantly to catch his breath and he could only jump a few inches? No! I'm not saying that all modern games suck. It's the popular ones that usually suck.
...
I have a feeling the comments will not go well.
Edit: I wish I was born in the 80's

Well, my new HDD seems to have died. My computer says it's not sensing any operating system, and any attempts to reinstall it fails, telling me there's an input/output failure in the drive. Right now I'm working of an Ubuntu Live Disk. :
Happy owner of a Gainward GT 440 1GB videocard, just in time for my low-mid range quad-yearly GPU swap.
It's funny how 5 years ago the roughly same, then-high-end X1900 XT needed an extra power cable, while producing the electricity bill of a washing machine and vacuum cleaner altogether - and that card seems like yesterday. I must be getting old.

Dr. Amazing's Reviews of Awesome
My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic : It's About Time
So I wasn't going to make a review but I think this episode has enough material to review. Overall I thought this episode was just ok. Nothing Amazing (if you know what I mean). My main problem with this episode is the paradox created. Why did Twilight even go back in time anyway? She couldn't worry about what Future Twilight said because there needs to have gone back in time in the first place! Plus when she went back in time couldn't she have just said "DON'T WORRY!"? How about not even going back in time? If I keep thinking about this then my head will explode. I will stop thinking about it, therefore it ceases to exist.
6/10
Note: This is my attempt to talk about MLP without "pushing it in your face".
Another Note: I'm writing this from my 3DS because my computer is potato.

Well, after all that crap about My Little Pony, I decided to watch it, to see why it has such an avid following.
Frankly, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
I'll watch it some more over the next week, maybe I'll get to the end of the second series, but so far it just seems to be another children's show.
I'll update this journal once I've watched to the end of the second series with my opinion of the show as a whole.
[Edit] Another thing that happened, on Saturday I got access to my older brother's laptop. Not content with simply fraping him, I went onto YouTube and subscribed, liked, and commented favourably on a load of videos of the type found on this list, particularly number one. Now that's all that shows up in his suggestions list.

Dr. Amazing's Mods of Awesome 2:
Mod name: Super Mario Star Road
Author: Skelux
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JBdxcnyxeQ
Bet you weren't expecting this. A Super Mario 64 mod. When i first saw this I had a Nostalgia-gasm. After all Super Mario 64 is one of my favorite games of all time. This is like Super Mario 64 2
Fun Fact: Super Mario 64 2 was actually being developed for the N64DD until it was canceled in 1999.
Overall this mod was kind-of hard but that's probably because I was playing it thru an emulator using a PS3 controller. Speaking of emulator I suggest using Project64. There are a few things you have to do to get it running but it's all in the readme. Don't worry about being able to run it because my shitty computer could run it just fine.
The gameplay was spot-on. It really felt like it was something Nintendo would of released. That's all i have to say about the gameplay.
The Music was amazing (and I would know). There's over 50 new tracks.
I'll give this mod an 8/10
NOTE: There are some graphical glitches in it while playing it through Project64 but it wasn't even close to game breaking.

I just hope this doesn't go down the shitter halfway through. Loved the original Outcast, and this looks uncomfortably sexy.

Ok so today was the third day for my SAT in Language Arts.
I had to make an extended response to a story where a girl had to overcome her shyness to make a new friend.
So I wrote about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
U mad Archie?

I have recently learned about the complicated ramification of the Unix systems. So Linux is just a Unix-derived system, which has lots of distributions itself, such as Ubuntu.
But when even Ubuntu has more ramifications known as "editions"...
